    Murder Mystery Trains - Bodmin Railway

    The Million Pound Murder' - 1970s

    Our popular Murder Mystery trains running from May until October.

    In an attempt to return to her super-star status and get revenge on those who abandoned her, the fallen screen idol Tracey Monroe has written a novel titled ‘Friendly Secrets’ in which she lists intimate and detailed accounts of her wild partying and many affairs from her earlier ‘glory days’.

    Several in attendance tonight are fearful of exactly what details may be included within the chapters of her new book, including a government cabinet minister and the well-known leader of a London organised crime syndicate.

    Could this journey lead to a murder? Watch and listen closely. Can you identify a murderer?

     

    Each ticket includes a Cornish pasty & arrival drink. Book Now. 

    Event Timings: 7pm Start. 10pm Finish (approx)

    Great Estate Fest 2024 - Redruth

    The Great Estates 2024 Festival

    One of Cornwall’s most high-octane music festivals takes place at Scorrier House on the edge of Redruth between Friday 31 May and Sunday 2 June 2024. The most ‘rambunctious garden fete’ in Europe, better known as The Great Estate 2024, is set to be another absolute classic in the heart of Cornwall.

    Who is playing at the Great Estate 2024 festival in Cornwall, though? The Darkness. Fact. The rockers will be one of the headliners and we sure believe in a thing called love at this festival. Who else? Bez’s Acid House will be there too, as well as the Pulp Friction Show. We will let you know other acts on the bill as soon as we do.

    The Great Estate 2024 follows a superb 2023 edition of the event that was headlined by Primal Scream. A huge crowd got their rocks off to that and tons of other acts like Symphonic Ibiza and DJ Andy Joyce, who brought their full orchestra to play classic EDM hits. Bez from the Happy Mondays played a DJ set in 2023, so he’s a welcome return in 2024. Tickets are already on sale.

    The Great Estate 2023 followed a fab 2022 event that included the likes of the Manic Street Preachers, Ibibio Sound Machine, Black Grape, The Sugarhill Gang, Electric Six, DJ Yoda Dick Valentine and Ted Jasper.

    The 2024 fest will be the seventh edition of a festival that’s aimed at both grown-ups and little ones. In fact, the emphasis of The Great Estate isn’t just on the incredible music acts that play to the crowds but also on all sorts of events and activities that take place throughout each day.

    The Great Estates 2024 Festival

    One of Cornwall’s most high-octane music festivals takes place at Scorrier House on the edge of Redruth between Friday 31 May and Sunday 2 June 2024. The most ‘rambunctious garden fete’ in Europe, better known as The Great Estate 2024, is set to be another absolute classic in the heart of Cornwall.

    Who is playing at the Great Estate 2024 festival in Cornwall, though? The Darkness. Fact. The rockers will be one of the headliners and we sure believe in a thing called love at this festival. Who else? Bez’s Acid House will be there too, as well as the Pulp Friction Show. We will let you know other acts on the bill as soon as we do.

    The Great Estate 2024 follows a superb 2023 edition of the event that was headlined by Primal Scream. A huge crowd got their rocks off to that and tons of other acts like Symphonic Ibiza and DJ Andy Joyce, who brought their full orchestra to play classic EDM hits. Bez from the Happy Mondays played a DJ set in 2023, so he’s a welcome return in 2024. Tickets are already on sale.

    The Great Estate 2023 followed a fab 2022 event that included the likes of the Manic Street Preachers, Ibibio Sound Machine, Black Grape, The Sugarhill Gang, Electric Six, DJ Yoda Dick Valentine and Ted Jasper.

    The 2024 fest will be the seventh edition of a festival that’s aimed at both grown-ups and little ones. In fact, the emphasis of The Great Estate isn’t just on the incredible music acts that play to the crowds but also on all sorts of events and activities that take place throughout each day.
